Gamevice Makes Your iPhone a Portable Gaming Powerhouse

IN THE YEARS since Apple introduced the specs for iPhone-compliant game controllers in 2013, you’ve had no shortage of options for adding buttons to your iOS bleep-bloop. Good options are another story.Some controllers embraced Bluetooth. Others resembled Xbox controllers with a cradle for your phone. A few stumbled onto the best layout, adding the buttons and such to the sides and turning the iPhone into something akin to the PlayStation Vita. But most of them felt cheap or imprecise. The Gamevice controller gives the idea a sheen of quality. It ain’t cheap at $100, especially since you could always, you know, just use the on-screen controls. And you run the risk that the iPhone 7 expected this fall won’t fit. It’s compatible with at over 800 games, which means it’s not compatible with many, many more games. You’ll want to download the Gamevice Live app first to make sure your favorites are on there.
